JP Peterson vs. Brooke Bennett
Description
Yes, it's true. The challenger is now the champion. Peterson beat Bennett in a 50-meter race in the pool at Emerald Greens. Three time Olympic champion Brooke Bennett fell to 1010AM's JP Peterson on Thursday afternoon during a race at the Emerald Greens Recreation Center's swimming pool in Carrollwood. The wager between the radio personality and the swimming phenom was simple: If Peterson beat Bennett, he earned a night out on the town - wearing her three gold medals. If Bennett won, she got a spa day at Peterson's expense. At the start of the afternoon race, which was broadcast on Peterson's show Thursday afternoon, Peterson was given a 15 yard head start for the 50-meter race. Fifteen yards might not sound like much, considering Bennett's races are the 400 meter and 800 meter. A 15 yard head start is more than half the length of the pool - which only had to be swam there and back. Nevertheless, Peterson stayed true to his word and beat Bennett by a few seconds.
